Small-ship coastal cruises along Croatia’s Adriatic

Our fleet – 24 ships for your Adriatic cruise

Our fleet comprises 24 ships of various categories and with different amenities. Choose between modern motor yachts with steel hulls or traditional motor sailers with wooden hulls – all lovingly maintained and with personal charm. They operate on our cruises from Rijeka, Zadar and Trogir. All ships have cabins with their own shower, WC and individually adjustable air conditioning – this is standard in every category. To make it easier for you to choose a boat that will meet your expectations, we have divided our boats into three categories:

Deluxe: Comfortable motor yachts with steel hulls, spacious cabins (single beds or double beds), high-quality furnishings, shower cubicle, WC and air conditioning. Daily cabin cleaning and towel change on request. Lounge in the covered outdoor area and spacious bathing platform invite you to relax.

Premium: Comfortable motor sailers and motor yachts, mostly with steel hulls. Cabins with single beds or double beds, shower, WC and air conditioning. Many ships have a bathing platform with outdoor showers.

Comfort Plus: Classic motor sailers with wooden or steel hulls, simple cabins with bunk beds or single beds or double beds, shower, WC and air conditioning – for those who love traditional flair.

Choose from sun-soaked routes or active itineraries that combine hiking or cycling. The ships can accommodate 8 to 40 people or be rented in their entirety as a charter.

Swimming and sightseeing routes – new bays, sun and sea every day

A swimming and sightseeing cruise is the ideal form of travel for anyone who wants to enjoy the most beautiful beaches of the Adriatic in a relaxed atmosphere during the day and explore small coastal towns in the afternoon or evening – either individually or on one of our guided city tours. On board, we serve you breakfast and a freshly prepared lunch every day. You can spend your evenings however you like – in the konobas and restaurants of the overnight harbours, often right by the water.

We offer a wide selection of one-week routes from Rijeka, Zadar and Trogir. For those new to Croatia, the one-week T3 route from Trogir is particularly suitable, with wonderful highlights such as Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik. On the Z2 route from Zadar, you can expect relaxing swimming stops, two national parks (Kornati and Krka), the Telašćica Nature Park and charming coastal towns such as Vodice and Primošten with their Mediterranean atmosphere. A varied combination of nature experiences and a maritime holiday feeling. The Kvarner islands, which you can explore on our R1 route from Rijeka, are also a paradise for nature lovers – with charming places such as Rab and Krk and beautiful bathing bays. Discover this timeless classic route!

If you have more time, opt for a two-week cruise: Route R4 takes you almost the entire length of the coast from Rijeka to Dubrovnik. On Route T8, you can spend two weeks marvelling at the beauty of Dalmatia and Kvarner Bay at your leisure. Each route has its own charm – and the choice of which one to start with is entirely up to you. Only one thing is certain: many of our guests come back again and again.

Active cruises – island hopping & relaxation on Croatia's coast

Our active cruises combine the best of both worlds: active days out – by bike or on foot. No luggage, no return journey, no stress. Your floating hotel accompanies you from stage to stage and welcomes you at the next port. In the late afternoon and evening, you can relax and enjoy your time on board. All routes are accompanied by at least one English-speaking tour guide.

Island hopping by bike: on our classic cycling cruises from Rijeka, Zadar or Trogir, you can discover the Croatian islands in an active and varied way – on two wheels along green paths and beautiful coastal routes. The difficulty levels vary depending on the route; our route profiles offer you a good guide. You can bring your own bike or book modern trekking bikes or e-bikes for an additional charge. And if you like, you can simply take a day off and enjoy the cruise on board.

Active & Cappuccino Routes: Ideal for those who like variety but are not looking for peak athletic performance: our popular Cappuccino tours from Rijeka and Trogir combine short bike rides, easy hikes, cultural sightseeing – and even rafting. Experience a lot, but at a leisurely pace – that’s the motto. The name says it all: these routes leave enough time for a coffee break with a view of the sea. Rental bikes are also available here for an additional charge.

The hiking routes from Rijeka and Zadar are ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. Expertly guided stages lead through breathtaking landscapes such as Paklenica National Park and to the stunning peaks of offshore islands. Pure exercise and relaxation.

Exclusive holidays – your chartered boat with crew

With family, friends or colleagues – your own motor yacht or motor sailer promises unforgettable experiences in Croatia. Whether you want to spend relaxing days swimming, enjoy exciting activities or explore the islands together: when you charter a boat with crew, you can plan your itinerary and route according to your wishes – flexibly on site or in advance together with the captain. Our experienced crews take care of navigation, service and catering, so you can concentrate fully on each other, nature and the experiences. Active programmes such as guided bike tours, hikes, kayak safaris or rafting can also be easily integrated. Also bookable: exciting city tours, e.g. in Split, Dubrovnik or Rab.

Ideal for:

• Family holidays with privacy
• Groups of friends who want to spend their holiday together
• Incentives, company trips, clubs and school classes looking for extraordinary experiences
